Research Interests

Principal areas of research:

• Develop approaches to control nucleation and crystallisation of small molecule organic organic solids (polymorphism).
• Develop biocrystallisation as a downstream bioseparation for purification and isolation of biopharmaceuticals
• Study the role of surface properties in processability and manufacturability of powders, including the effect of processing on powder properties.
• Developing methods to experimentally measure powder surface energy heterogeneity and models to determine surface energy distributions.
